4.9 · Licensed, bonded & insured

Bay Area Lock And Key is your local specialist for Lock Rekey in Piedmont. From the first call to the final test, you get a licensed professional, non-destructive methods where possible, and pricing you approve up front — no surprises.

Rekeying changes the internal pins of a lock so it works with a brand-new key and the old keys no longer function — all without replacing the lock itself. It's the fastest, most affordable way to take control of who can enter, which is why it's the first thing we recommend after you move into a home, lose a key, or turn over a rental.

Because rekeying reuses your existing hardware, it costs a fraction of buying new locks and takes only minutes per cylinder. We can also key multiple locks alike so one key runs your whole home or business. If a lock is worn out or you want an upgrade, we'll tell you honestly when replacement makes more sense than a rekey.

Whatever brought you here, we arrive ready to handle the whole job on-site. Our lock rekey service in Piedmont covers:

  • Rekeying of existing locks
  • Keyed-alike setups
  • New working keys
  • Move-in and tenant-turnover rekeys
  • Advice on rekey vs. replacement

How Our Lock Rekey Process Works

We keep lock rekey straightforward so you always know what comes next. A typical Piedmont job follows four simple steps:

  1. 1

    Identify the locks

    We confirm your locks are rekeyable and count the cylinders.

  2. 2

    Rekey the pins

    We re-pin each cylinder to a new key code on-site.

  3. 3

    Key alike (optional)

    We can set every lock to open with one shared key.

  4. 4

    Test & hand off

    We test each lock and hand you the new keys.

What to expect when we arrive

Here is what a visit looks like in Piedmont: a friendly, licensed technician arrives on time, assesses the situation in front of you, and explains your options in plain language. We confirm the price you approved, complete the work carefully, and then test everything together so you are confident it is done right. We are happy to answer questions and offer honest advice — leaving you informed, not confused.

Signs You Need Lock Rekey

Not sure if this is the right service? These are the most common situations that lead Piedmont customers to call us for lock rekey:

  • You just moved into a home or unit
  • You lost a key or one wasn't returned
  • A tenant or roommate moved out
  • You want one key for every door

No two calls are exactly alike, and that is where experience matters. Over thousands of jobs across Piedmont, our technicians have seen and solved just about every variation of this problem — from routine requests to the tricky, high-pressure situations that leave other locksmiths stumped. That depth of hands-on experience means we diagnose quickly and get it right the first time.

Key Benefits

  • Old keys instantly stop working
  • Much cheaper than replacing locks
  • Key multiple locks alike to one key
  • Fast — minutes per cylinder
  • Great for move-ins, lost keys and turnovers

We use quality parts and proven techniques, not the cheapest hardware we can find. When a job calls for new components, we fit dependable, name-brand products sized correctly for your door or vehicle, so the repair lasts and keeps you secure well into the future.

A little prevention goes a long way. Once we have handled the immediate need, we are glad to point out simple steps that reduce the odds of a repeat — a spare key kept somewhere safe, a small hardware upgrade on a vulnerable door, or a quick adjustment that keeps a lock operating smoothly. Our aim is a lasting solution and a customer who feels genuinely looked after, not a quick job and a future callback.
